Logo

Logo is an educational programming language, designed in 1967 by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon.

Despite being a general-purpose language, Logo is often known for its use of turtle graphics, in which commands for movement and drawing produced line graphics either on screen or with a small robot called a turtle.

Logo was used in education to teach basic programming concepts to kids. It led to the invention of the paradigm of constructionism which involves visual programming languages like Scratch and MIT App Inventor.
